Gilbert Arenas Blasts Ferguson Rioters; Calls Sharpton a ‘THOT’

As has been reported, rioting and looting broke out in Ferguson after an unarmed black teenager Michael Brown was shot to death by police over the weekend.

Arenas argues racism is black on black and not white on black since black folks are robbing each other and burning down their OWN neighborhoods whenever there’s injustice.

“I would like to start off by saying too the family of the victim GOD BLESS#RIPmichealbrown you will be missed: too EVERY African American out there..how dumb are we really???every time we hear some bad news, the first thing we do is #RIOT #ROB #STEAL #BURN sh-t in our OWN neighborhoods..,” he wrote on Instagram.

He added, “this racism fight has never been #blackvswhite, it’s ALWAYS been #blackvsblack from what the stats.. About 10 riots from the black community over the years and the only thing damaged ,was the BLACK COMMUNITY by The BLACK COMMUNITY..only reason they issue riot police isssss just in case you actually got smart enough to walk 6 blocks ,YALL ain’t f-cking up white rich sh-t smdh.”

But Rev. Al Sharpton got the worst of it. Arenas blamed Sharpton for making racial injustices worst. He even called Sharpton an attention-seeking ‘THOT’ (That Hoe Over There).

He wrote; “FAMILiES of the victims pleaseeeeee stop asking #alsharpton to speak or ur behalf,you have a better chance having #caesar the monkey from #planetoftheapes to get justice for you..the stats also show AL coon sharpton has not helped one situation he has protested at,he actually made it worst and because of him the jury goes the other way..”

He continued with: “(think about it) Jena six,trayvon and the list goes back way back..#AL ur like a #THOT in the club,lookn for attention what u said at trayvons rally #enoughisenough ur right were tired of u PRETENDING.”

Arenas isn’t the only one questioning Sharpton’s motives. The Wall Street Journal posed the question of why didn’t he visit Chicago over the weekend after there were 26 deaths. Instead, he flew to St. Louis.

Whenever there is a major case of racial injustice, Sharpton pops up to represent the family.

An Instagram follower questioned what Arenas has done for the black community. His answer is telling:

The families are asking Al Sharpton to go, so I don’t understand why people get upset when he does. Most of the US hadn’t heard of Jena 6, or Jena before Al Sharpton became involved. You can’t equate a riot with him because they don’t occur every time he’s involved. The trees are being knocked down in the village by a big elephant, but everyone wants to blame the villager who’s reporting it. These people and their families can’t afford an expensive attorney. They are working with what is available and Mr. Sharpton is readily available.

Arenas has done some humanitarianism, but I’m sure he is getting a huge tax right off for his donations. I’m also sure that he wouldn’t attach his brand to these cases by actually going to these sites and working with these families to get justice.

Im over when these issues pop up how people bring up black on black crime. One issue at a time. The only time black on black crime is the focus is when blacks are being dogged by whites.

“The only time black on black crime is the focus is when blacks are being dogged by whites”. I said it, you are absolutely correct. So ask yourself, why do Sharpton and other prominent blacks not make it the focus when blacks are being dogged by other blacks? The number of blacks killed by whites every year is a pinprick compared to the number of blacks slaughtered by other blacks. I have yet to see a protest of this size (minus the looting) staged when news breaks about a child catching a bullet from a black gang member’s gun. Or when we hear the heartbreaking news of a child sitting on their own porch, having her hair braided, and down she goes, caught in the crossfire of neighborhood gangbangers who don’t even bother to look before they pull the trigger. Oh yeah, whenever a young black is killed by a white person, we puff up, get indignant, and act all fed up with the injustices we have to endure at the hands of whitey. But invoke the “snitch” code of conduct when asked to help bring justice to “one of our own”, when the perpetrator is “one of our own”. But when the killer is white and the victim is black, snitches come out of the woodwork, complete with video and live reenactments. Why is that? If we are supposed to be so afraid of whitey, why are we not worried about being mowed down in our homes if we snitch on him? But, we’re so afraid of what “one of our own” will do to us and our families, we’d rather see a murderer walk free than to seek justice for their victim – as long as the murderer is black. This is why I don’t put much stock in all this grandstanding and cock prancing. If people really cared about the way black people are being mowed down like grass under a lawnmower, you would see huge protests and people calling for justice, and providing evidence of wrong doing for every black person killed, not just the ones killed by white people. Black people are always whining about the fact that white people think they’re superior to black people. But aren’t we perpetuating that lie when we send the message that the murder of a black person is only worthy of justice, protests, outrage (and looting) when they’re killed by a white person? But when a black animal rides by and sprays a park with bullets not caring who they hit, “our kind” run into their houses, lock their doors and don’t even come out to go buy from a store let alone loot it. They could see a black person wring the neck of another black person, cut him up, batter him and fry him like a pork chop, and the only time you’d see the witness open their mouth would be to help eat him. Never to tell what they witnessed. But let a white person do the neck wringing, and you’d see video evidence worthy of a Lifetime Movie Of The Week. I said all this to say that, until we start to show genuine and real concern for our people, and not this “Oh Lawd! The white folks is trying to wipe us off the face o’ de earth!” fake ass (and I say fake because if it were real, we’d be looting and destroying rich white neighborhoods in our “search for justice” instead of our own) concern about the killing of our black men, women and children, we’d be seeking an end to the violence, whether the killers are white or “our kind”. That’s all I’m saying. RIP Baby Boy, and I hope we see the day when this animal is brought to justice.

Wrong Kay, that is your stupidity. Blacks even Rev Al SHarpton is always trying to advise black on black crime; however, people like you do not focus on the great work Rev Sharpton does within the community. Where is your cameras when blacks help blacks?

Well, Gilbert Arenas, where are YOU? Are you trying to help with this situation? See this is the problem I see with folks who want to degrade Rev Al. Rev Al gets the job done and makes these kind of blacks feel uncomfortable. I find it also funny that the blacks who degrade Rev Al are the same blacks who sit back and do NOTHING. Show your civil rights works Gilbert against Rev Al work. I bet you have NOTHING. I am glad for Rev Al and the work he does. If blacks depended on folks like Gilbert, blacks would be even worst. Yes, we know we have work to do in our communities (there is white on white crimes as well); however, that does NOT justify bad cops killing innocent blacks. And remember Gilbert, those blacks in Ferguson CALLED Rev Al. And Foxnews love to attack Rev AL just like they love to attack President Obama. Even what Gibert is doing is another of black on black disrespect. Instead of focusing on what Rev Al is there to do, Gilbert want to make this about Rev Al doing what hate filled Foxnews want him to do. and if you have a problem with Rev Al, go to Rev Al like a man and discuss it and not some media rant where non blacks love to see two blacks going at it.

People get upset with Rev AL because they think he has too much power to bring attention to issues. If these folks (officials) were doing what they were suppose to do in the first place, this issue would not be happening, a kid would be alive, and family would have their son, and they would not have to call Rev Al. So since the official did not do their jobs and this mess was created, Rev Al was called (and I am glad Rev Al is bring attention to the issue). Where was Mr. Gilbert when this event was happening? Probably sitting home with a drink in his hand relaxing.

OK Gilbert. I got to give you props for speaking out against the senseless riots, but on the question of Al, you seem to be allowing yourself to be brainwashed by the white media, as too many blacks have. What you seem to forget, is that without Sharpton, a lot of the injustices against blacks wouldn’t even get wide spread media attention. And as for the crackas from the Wall Street, there is only so much that one man can do.

Every intelligent black person should be able to discern by now that Al Sharpton motives are genuine in the struggle for black civil rights and justice. Of course, the racist media and Toms would have it otherwise, as they constantly seek to tarnish his image. Branding him with derogatory terms as “shake down artist.”
When you find yourself as a black person following in the same path, you might want to do a self re-evaluation to make sure that you are not doing the white man’s bidding.

The same racist media gave Mr. Sharpton a gig as a commentator on MSNBC. So either they aren’t as racist as you portray them to be ( I seriously doubt that), or they have a agenda to divide and conquer which they have down to a science, with Al playing his role.

Why blacks still watch the Jew controlled media after all this time can simply be attributed to conditioning. How can you get reliable information from corporations that portray you as the enemy?

I do commend Gilbert for voicing his views. Yes, he is correct when he states that [we] are destroying our OWN communities whenever there is a infraction of racial inequity – and he happens to be RIGHT! I agree with him whole-heartedly. We as black people need to stop feeling we need to look to Al Sharpton as the voice of Black America. We can think – talk – preservere without Mr. Shapton being the pulpit at various black-themed injustices. 40 plus years ago – we as black people stuck together and showed RESPECT amongst ourselves – now, we dissect and harm one another just for the fun of it. We have no respect for one another – we debase our women and constantly belittle our own in the presence of others. When all is said and done with the rioting – nothing will GET RESOLVED, and Michael Brown [rip brother – you were innocent in this melee] will still be deceased! We as black people need to get it together and love one another and stop this genocidal path we have taken – and that’s to have the utmost disregard for others – our own! I remember the slogan as a kid…”black is beautiful”! It’s 2014 and I am not saying that now… I am now saying….” black is hopeful”.

look, it does not matter who want to be the voice of black America, whoever wants to do civil rights work will ALWAYS be attacked even by other blacks. This is nothing new what Rev Al is experiencing (yet when these blacks get into trouble, these are also the first blacks to call Sharpton). Dr. King experience this same thing and now look, Dr. King is praised. If you experiences injustice in you city, do you think you can call on Gilbert Arenas to help? I think not. Some blacks like Rev Al are brave to face issues whereas other blacks love to sit back on the porch and find fault but is ready to enjoy the glory once the work is done.

This is coming from the moron who spent over a million $$$ to throw HIMSELF a birthday party. The same idiot who was not only stupid enough to bring a gun to work, but he showed it to a teammate in a threatening manner. This same immature buffoon had the audacity to take a crap in a teammates sneaker! Don’t get me started Gilbert on how much of a dummy Shaquille made you look when he publicly took your girlfriend! So knowing that, what clear minded person will now take you serious when you come out and say stupid ignorant comments, especially when it comes to social issues? After playing several years here in DC, we know that when you say or do something, chances are extremely high it will be something stupid. He was a great ball player, until he severly tore up his knee. Now he’s a dummy with no brains & no game! Damn!!!

Yo….I guess it’s me &….”timmdog” riding ‘on this one! 1st let me post that…It pisses me OFF!!!, that the subject of “others” doing Us wrong?, gets high jacked into…Us attacking “each other”!! But…when nothing has happened, there never is a forum forrrrr these issues, & so…one leads to another. Sigh. And one moe??, I knooooooow my post won’t “win any popularity contest” & also (as always!?)…IDGAD! So ok ppl, let’s be real!!, AS only “comes out” AFTER someone caaaaaaalls him to! Meaning?….he or none of the OTHER so called “leaders” EVer do ANYthing before…then! Never do anything about the prior offense, & so?, “the next” occurs!!! Never do anything “proactive”, & are always…”REactive”!! NEver do anything that may cause discomfort to YT eeeeeeithah!, while the leaders of old?, DGAD about “YT’s comfort, & were ALL ABOUT…”Our’s”. Case in point…..it took “M.Baisden” to break the Gena 6 incident, even though MONTHS later when he finally appeared on MB’s show?, AS stated….”yes, it is a travisty, & when I 1st learned of this in June” etc…. Now, that wouldn’t be such a bad thing?, except for the fact that….it was fkn… “SEPTEMBER”!!!!, & until then?, no press conferences/statements/rallies about the incident had been held. (Gatekeeper!) And all of this BS could/WOULD be over, if these “leaders” would implement a fkn plan to gain the respect Our ppl are looooooong overdue to recieve. But what’s been suggested/done?,….not a fkn thang!! And so….the BS continues. We are consistently killed by the hands of the poe poe AND others, & along with the riDICulous racism against POTUS, these leaders simply ALLOW this shyt to…manifest I to larger/more frequent incidents!!!, & walk around like they can’t see that big ass…”elephant in the room”. And what organization against this shyt, has been implemented or even FATHOMED!!??….nada. And all it would take?, is for Us (as the biggest consumers”!) to stop buying shyt, until shyt…changed. And not even “all year”, just the crucial Christmas season….”mid November-Jan 1″!!! A few years of “that”?, & We would definitely get a seat….at the table!!! Now…”Stevie Wonder” has been pointing at this fact for yeeeeeeears!!!, but these “leaders”?,….”can’t seeeeeeee it”. SMFH! And with such an easy, no violent, no “marching”, EFFECTIVE way to achieve this overdue prize?, one haaaaaas to conclude, that the ONLY reason they haven’t “pushed the green button”, is why “I” refer to them as not leaders but…..”gatekeepers”!! Paid to keep Us back, complacent &….oppressed. And we’re seduced into thinking these ppl have Our/their ppl’s best interests at heart, when clearly?,….it’s “their own” advantages that fuel their lack of action. But again….as sooooooon as someone ELSE goes in?, here they come for that “photo op”, & whyyyyyy?, to give the appearance they care & are “involved in the solution”, when all they are?, are suppliers of a fkn “bandaid”, when the obvious & ONLY cure is…SURGERY!!!! But….as long as “THEIR” patient is “covered”, apparently Our insurance can…GTH! Now again!!, it’s fkd UP that We (myself & timmdog!) have to expose the blatant reality against one of our own?, but I feel it’s an even greater fkd up action, to continue to drink this BS koolaid, pretend we don’t see, or…remain 3rd eye blind!!! Just ask yourselves….”when did any of these modem day leaders “initiate” the protest, cause or do ANYthing to anger massah, on “Our” behalf!?? Then ask yourselves….why does someELSE always seem to speak, before THEY do!?? And 3rd….”why DOES someone “have to” ask, before they…..show up!!??? 4th why did Rodney,Oscar,Sean,Trayvon,Jordan,Tenisha,Marrissa,Eric,Michael,Devon,Santos,Willaims and OTHERS!!!!, lose their lives?? And watch you finally realize?….”b/c NOTHing just, binding, respectful or potent!!, was done regarding the prior offenses, and so….the next occurred. The SAME shyt!!!!!!!!!!!! keeps happening to ONLY US!!!!!!!!! Now I knooooooow “racist” Whites are against Us?, but after all this time & no improvement/regression?, we have to admit that….”this shyt also haaaaaaas to be an……”inside job” as well!! Last question…”Why haven’t we “moooooooved” SINCE….the movement!?? Answer……noooooooooo leeeeeeeeeadershiiiiiiiiip!!!!! Yo popular or not, it’s the fkn truth, Ruth! TITMFB!

Well, leaders need help. Rev Al do other work within the community however the media does not cover it. Instead of degrading leader, what are you doing? Are you a member of an organization what fight for civil rights? Are you trying to make a difference or are you just someone who sit back and issue out negative remarks while you do nothing but YET expect others to do work whild you find fault? Like I said, EVERYONE should be doing work that includes me, you, and everyone else. Sorry but you can not degrade a civil rights leader unless YOU are doing what civil rights work (sorry but giving money is not the same civil rights work).

Btw….& when was the last time you saw OR heard eithah oooooooone of these two “preach the gospel/bible”!!?? Not in neh press comference, have I heard or seen it! So maybe?, you should just….STFU &….”pray”, pray for better leaders!!! Amen?, AaaaaaaMEN! Deuces.

Ps…..or the short version…”dude has a point”. Chuuuuuuuch! BTW….why are Jackson/Sharpton referred to as “Rev.”, when neither has damn…. “church”!!?? What?…”online”?? ANYone can get that shyt!! But it’s b/c once again….”the conditioning of organized religion” allows them to get away with shyt, we would normally/immediately call their asses ‘on! And “that too”!!, is YT’s design/”dirty hands”, with our “Fidlah’s” help! But?…..I digress. SSMDH!

Clearing, you not too bright. A “Rev” does NOT have to have a church in order to preach the word of the bible. If he/she is “ordained” to the ministry, he/she can be called a “Rev” or “Pastor”, or Minister. A church is just a building for them to spread the word and whole a gathering but a Rev can spread to the word by going place to place as well. When Jesus spread the word, did he have a church? NO.

Lastly, btw?, youuuu don’t know. WTF “I” do, how active “I” am, what “I’m” involved with etc….BUT!??,…”that” shyt ain’t eeeeeeven relevant, b/c?….we ain’t TALKin bout…”me”!!, & “I” haven’t grabbed the….”leader” t-shirt/don’t wear tha muthafkah eeeeeithah, nor do “I” benefit FROM the position!!! But…yo boyz AS/JJ & others do! Look….jus as so many USE TO think Tavis & Cornel were “down”, only to discover they were only “down with KEEPING “US” down”!!?, some of Us recognize & can smell a pile or shyt, when we’re standing ‘on a ranch, while others (yourself!) smell…..”potpourri”. Sigh! Look sweety, it’s just time to take the blinders off, regarding AS & the Gang, is all we’re saying.

And the real sad thing is?…..these “leaders” are……all We got. We’ve been living off the efforts of “Martin & Malcolm”!!!, & “that’s” why the same issues still happen to Us/hold Us up, & “the/Our movement” stopped……with them.

Actually, any one that has ever used the term “black on black crime” to try to stop violence is a racist. It is like telling every black person that it is O.K. to rape, murder, steal, attack, vandalize, or riot, as long as it is against a white, hispanic, or oriental. That is fine, just don’t do it against another black person. Now, how racist & ignorant does any person that has ever used the phrase “black on black crime” to stop violence really sound?
